1963: Reeling from the death of her mother and President Kennedy's assassination, Catherine Gray shows up on Elizabeth Bentley's doorstep demanding answers to the shocking mystery she just uncovered about her family. What she doesn't expect is for Bentley to ensnare her in her own story of becoming a controversial World War II spy and Cold War informer…

But after falling desperately in love with her handler, Elizabeth makes another surprise discovery when she learns he is actually a Russian spy. Together, they will build the largest Soviet spy network in America and Elizabeth will become its uncrowned Red Spy Queen. However, once the war ends and the U.S. and U.S.S.R. become embroiled in the Cold War, it is Elizabeth who will dangerously clash with the NKVD, the brutal Soviet espionage agency.

BESTSELLING CATEGORY: Fiction and nonfiction featuring women who were spies during WWII is incredibly popular right now and this novel will appeal to readers of The Alice Network, The Lost Girls of Paris, Code Name Helene and A Woman of No Importance.
AN INTRIGUING MAIN CHARACTER: Stephanie's account of Elizabeth's life is based on extensive research, but Elizabeth was a skilled chameleon whose story changed depending on the circumstance, making her an intriguing, complex heroine who the reader is never sure they can trust, leading to a twisty, satisfying read.
AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY: In this novel, Thornton branches out from straight biographical fiction, with two heroines-one entirely fictional-and interweaving timelines, making for a riveting read that will appeal to fans of Along The Infinite Sea by Beatriz Williams and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
MORE FROM THORNTON: We own more books from Thornton, who continues to grow her audience and flourish as a writer, establishing herself as an historical fiction author to watch.
